Three tracks offered include: Innovative Knowledge Exchange and The Changing Health IT Landscape.

Track 1: Innovative Knowledge Exchange

Track 2: The Changing Landscape of Health IT

This track will feature the evolving healthcare policy landscape—the Affordable Care Act, ICD-10, and key components of Stage 2 meaningful use—and their impact on health IT.

Track 3: Provider Solutions Sessions
